Miscellaneous Building & System Commissioning Services

The City of Boise, Idaho is soliciting qualifications under RFQ2027-008 for miscellaneous building and system commissioning services on municipal properties, with proposals due November 20, 2026. Consultants on the resulting list must respond to each assignment request or provide written notice of unavailability to remain on it, and proposals for each assignment are due within two weeks of the City's assignment request.

Commissioning agents will support municipal properties such as fire stations and sports complexes across new construction, retro-commissioning, and post-construction verification. Work spans planning, design, construction, acceptance, occupancy, and warranty phases. Deliverables include commissioning plans, design and specification reviews, functional performance and integrated systems testing, deficiency tracking through resolution, operations and maintenance documentation review, and final reports with recommendations. Covered systems include mechanical, building automation and controls, plumbing, electrical, and building envelope. Life-safety system interfaces are coordinated with the City's authorized specialty contractors.

Compensation is based on hourly rates set in the agreement with a not-to-exceed amount per assignment, or an alternative fee arrangement the City approves in writing. Rates are straight-time only, with no overtime permitted, and include office space, hardware, software, support, field equipment, supervision, travel, printing, and copying, except for resident employees and direct reimbursable expenses agreed at assignment. Subconsultants require City approval before the Notice to Proceed. Overhead markup on subcontracted work may not exceed 5% of subcontract value, and no markup applies to subconsultants identified as part of the original consultant team.

Successful consultants must provide evidence of insurance before the agreement is executed. Monthly invoices must break down hours charged and describe project progress, and invoices lacking this information are subject to rejection.
